There is no better time to read and review a book on the Qur’an than in the month in which it was revealed. Ramadan is a blessed time not only because it is a month of fasting (siyam-i-Ramadan) but also due to the fact that Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) began his Prophetic mission in this month, beginning as it did with the revelation of God’s last message to humanity in the form of the Qur’an.
